Methods for providing, at the discretion of the user, at least two different oxidative hair coloring compositions providing different level of lift based on a single tint component. The methods involve the use of a tint component, an oxidizing component and a third component comprising a non-ammonia alkalizing agent. The compositions may comprise little or no ammonia.

Hair coloring composition

Methods for preparing hair coloring compositions

Oxidative hair coloring compositions comprising a non-ammonia alkalizing agent, such as monoethanolamine, and hydrogen peroxide in a specific ratio. The compositions of the invention have a relatively high lift power for relatively low hair damage. The compositions may comprise little or no ammonia.

Hair coloring compositions with a non-ammonia alkalizing agent

The present invention relates to hair coloring and hair bleaching compositions comprising at least one oxidizing agent, a specified gel network thickener system comprising a specified tertiary system, a cationic polymer and a mica and or titanium oxide. The compositions surprisingly provide improved hair colorant and bleaching compositions which deliver lift, lightening and color, whilst minimizing damage which are easy to manufacture and which improve adhesion of the composition to the hair roots.

Thickened hair colourant and bleaching compositions

The present invention relates to hair colouring and hair bleaching compositions comprising at least one oxidizing agent, a specified gel network thickener system comprising a specified tertiary component system, and a polysaccharide and a polyol. The compositions surprisingly provide hair colourant and bleaching compositions which deliver lightening and colour which are easy to manufacture and improve adhesion of the composition to the hair roots.

The dust-free coated dye-containing pellet is a granulated carrier material that is encapsulated with a dye-containing coating material. The dye-containing coating material contains a mixture of a water-soluble or water-dispersible film-former with at least one direct dye and/or at least one oxidation dye precursor. Preferred carrier materials include dextrose, oligosaccharides and cellulose compounds. The dust-free coated dye-containing pellet is preferably made by granulating the carrier material together with optional antioxidants and auxiliary agents, heating the resulting granulate at no more than 34&#xb0; C., subsequently coating the granulate by spraying it with a solution or dispersion of the coating material and optionally drying as needed.

Dye-containing pellets for coloring keratin fibers

The agent for coloring keratin fibers is free of chemical oxidants, is in the form of an aqueous or aqueous-alcoholic dye-containing preparation, and contains a combination of oxidation dyes and at least three direct dyes. The agent is characterized by a quantitative ratio of oxidation dyes to direct dyes equal to 5:1 to 0.5:1. A method of dyeing hair is described in which the agent is applied to hair and allowed to act on the hair for an acting time of 5 to 60 minutes without addition of chemical oxidants, so that air oxidation provides a uniform and stable coloration of the hair.

Agent for coloring keratin fibres

The present application relates to a multicomponent kit for dyeing keratin fibers which consists of

Multicomponent kit and method for dyeing keratin fibers

The dye carrier composition containing oxidative and/or nonoxidative dyes has a nacreous luster because it contains a combination of

Nacreous colorant for keratin fibers

The present patent application relates to dye-containing pellets obtained by (a) homogeneous mixing of a starting material containing at least one natural and/or synthetic dye with a suitable carrier material and then coating with a suitable encapsulation material or (b) coating a suitable carrier material with a mixture of at least one natural and/or synthetic dye and at least one suitable encapsulation material, to the use of said pellets for preparing colorants for keratin fibers and to the colorants based on said pellets.

Dye-containing pellets for dyeing keratin fibres

The colorant for keratin fibers contains direct and/or oxidative dyes as well as a perfume system consisting of an encapsulated perfume and an unencapsulated perfume of the same composition. The ratio of encapsulated perfume to unencapsulated perfume is equal to about 0.5:3 to 3:0.5. The perfume system is used for removing or masking the unpleasant odor of alkalinizing agents in the colorant.

Dyestuff for keratin fibers

The colorants for keratin fibers are based on oxidation dye precursors and/or direct dyes and contain a combination of (a) at least one nonionic, amphiphilic associative thickener, (b) at least one fatty alcohol that is liquid at 25&#xb0; C. and (c) PEG-150/stearyl alcohol/SMDI copolymer in a suitable cosmetic carrier.

Coloring agent for keratin fibers

The composition for removing or lightening hair color is in the form of a hair color lightening suspension and is mixed with an aqueous oxidizing composition immediately prior to use. The composition includes a combination of from 0.1 to 80 percent by weight of one or more organic lipophilic compounds, namely vegetable or animal fats, vegetable or animal oils, vegetable or animal waxes, paraffin hydrocarbons, higher alcohols or ethers, aliphatic and aromatic esters and/or silicone oils; from 0.01 to 20 percent by weight of at least one lipophilic inorganic or organic thickener, which is a bentonite and/or dextrin palmitate; from 0.1 to 40 percent by weight of one or more hydrophilic inorganic or organic thickeners; from 10 to 65 percent by weight of at least one inorganic persalt; from 10 to 45 percent by weight of at least one alkaline reacting salt; and auxiliary substances and cosmetic additive ingredients, as needed.

Compositions for removing or lightening hair color

Described is a composition for a hair-treatment preparation which is preferably in the form of an optically clear, transparent or translucent product that can be used as an aerosol foam and contains (A) at least one nonionic, amphiphilic associative thickener in an appropriate cosmetic carrier and (B) at least one propellant. The preparation can be used as a leave-in hair treatment or as a hair rinse which condition the hair and confers to it luster and volume.

Composition for a hair treatment preparation in the form of an aerosol foam

An optically clear, transparent or translucent hair conditioner in the form of a water-in-silicone oil emulsion is described. Said hair conditioner contains a silicone surfactant, a hydrophobic, nonsurfactant silicone compound present in the hair conditioner in liquid form, a basic or cationic nitrogen atom-containing hair-conditioning compound, a nonionic, silicone-free surfactant, a polyhydric alcohol and an electrolyte. The hair conditioner can be used as a leave-in hair treatment or as a hair rinse.
